- Description
- Involved in several processes, including blood vessel development; camera-type eye development; and regulation of signal transduction. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel; digestive system; fin; immature eye; and nervous system. Used to study microphthalmia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 17; bone disease (multiple); cleft lip; cleft palate; and isolated microphthalmia 4. Orthologous to human GDF6 (growth differentiation factor 6).
